Mission and programs · 2023
Mission
Children growing up in historically marginalized and disenfranchised communities lack access to a broad spectrum of resources and opportunities, and attend schools that are not equipped to meet their needs. To address this, TFA's mission is to find, develop and support exceptional leaders to teach the nation's most underserved students. TFA does this by finding promising leaders; developing and cultivating the leadership skills and mindsets necessary for systems change through classroom teaching; engaging the individual and collective impact of those in the TFA network throughout their lifetime; and growing the organization by learning new capabilities to enable a path for transformative change.
Activities or mission (Part I)
Teach For America finds, develops and supports exceptional leaders to transform education and expand opportunity for all children
-
Corps Members - TFA recruits, selects, trains and develops exceptional leaders to teach the nation's most underserved students. The organization hosts on and off campus recruitment events, networks and cultivates relationships with prospects and communities in order to recruit exceptional leaders. The organization then processes applications and conducts interviews to select corps members, placing them in various urban and rural regions throughout the United States. Corps members are supported financially, and engage in intensive virtual, hybrid, and in-person training where they have the opportunity to understand their role and work, build community with one another, learn practical skills, and apply their learning in preparation for their first day of school. Corps members are then supported throughout a two-year classroom experience with additional coaching and instructional supports as well as leadership and/or educator professional development.
Expenses $117,581,779 · Grants $23,277,685 · Revenue $16,649,493
-
Alumni - TFA has an alumni base of former corps members all over the world. This network is instrumental in driving real change and impact in education. TFA engages in activities that support and encourage alumni to continue work in education and across sectors by connecting them with various career and partnership opportunities, as well as resources, programs, and events. TFA also supports alumni via activities intended to develop alumni in leadership practice and/or specific programmatic areas: classroom practice, school leadership, school systems leadership, policy/organizing work, and social entrepreneurship.
Expenses $33,157,619 · Grants $7,813,013
-
Systems Change - TFA recognizes that significant progress in education can only be achieved with extraordinary actions and partnerships within the communities in which we work. Creating system change is about researching new opportunities - working alongside a coalition of alumni, students, and community leaders and partners to identify patterns and strategies that can lead to system impact and achieve our goals. Investing in work that allows learning of new capabilities and experimentation with innovative practices to bring forth a reinvention of the existing school models.
Expenses $21,154,320 · Grants $1,487,532
-
Ignite Fellowship - Ignite fellows are a national tutoring corps designed to accelerate learning and foster belonging with students, leveraging research-based best practices for high-impact tutoring.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
